far as snow accumulation. but it will
°.take awhile to replenish the candles •
and kerosene. The power was off for
nearly twelve hours - the longest
hydro loss in years. Those with stoves
and fireplaces fared well. but those
without alternate heating got pretty
chilled. The glow of kerosene lamps
and candles may be romantic, but it's
hard to see, and very difficult to read
by - no wonder our grandparents
always went to bed so early!
This week marks the countdown to
Grand Bend's Winter Carnival. All we
need is more snow and continued cold
temperatures - the enthusiasm is
already there, in large quantities. The
boxes have been built and filled with
snow for the snow sculpture, but_the
quality of river ice rests with the
weather. Hurry and get your tickets
